The invention consists in making a soldering-tool in three main parts,as hereinafter described.

A is the soldering-iron, formed of a tubular body, B, having threadedand perforated top b, and a cap, 0, having the dome c and long is firstinserted at the lower end of tube B, and up through the perforation oftop I), the nut E then inserted, and the cap 0 screwed on, when the ironis ready to be heated.

The soldering-iron A being then taken from the fire, the nut E rests ontop b'of tube B, and prevents the holder D from being dropped out,while, when placed on the top of can which is to be soldered, the nutslides up into dome 0 of cap 0, and allows holder D to adjust itself tothe can.
